If requested,'l will swear in testimony to the accuracy of the above if requested by a competent court of law and of record. y Respectfully submitted, David Schied fits § t 3 P'.O. Box 1378 jr {:§ y;::z:;>? ((`/::/1;, NOVl, Mlchlgan 483 76 § d '“l District Court and the Texas Department of Public Safety to update criminal history database to reflect judicial rulings and executive clemency.y These are records which Harris County’s 183rd District Court and the Texas l)epaitment of Public Safety had, over the course of a quarter century since 1979 and 1983 respectively, disregarded both the “judicial” clemency and “executive” clemency documents received by Grievant determining 7 v that his NON-FINAL DISPOSITION of ‘Y)robation” in 1974 - as recommended by a jury of We, T he People ~ had terminated early (1979) with a “wit_}_zdrayyal not M,"’ with a “di;_snjissai_ of_indic.tn_ient,” and W`ith~a “set aside of judgment.” (Underline'd emphasis added) Appel_lees’ “e_x_hibitsA and B” are. thus FRAUDULENT on their face for the simple FACT that they each establish and claim of a Texas criminal conviction where none otherwise exists (i.e;, see “EXmBITa#lS”), and, in fact, such a final disposition NEVER existed (si,nce probation is NOT a final 12 disposition). On the other hand, both ‘-‘exlzibitsA and B” are FRAUDULENT because they significantly contain gross omissions of fact that numerous ' atterns,_of,cr_imes. have be,en_committed_a ainst_Grievant stemmin from erroneous documents nrod'uced,bv the S,tate,ofiTexas. Grievant’s sister, Appellee Janette Smith, has long known that Grievant was rendered a pauper after the first several years of exhausting all of his finances fighting the aftermath of the M CORRUPT Michigan Judiciary had chosen in 2006 to interpret Texas laws in such a way as to DENY FULL FAITH AND CREDIT to former Texas» At-tornev Gen'eral Dan Morales gDM- §§g_) which had affirmed that such a “se¢ aside” (Exh¢ 11#14”) as the one received by Grievant David Schied in 1979 meant “-no conviction exists;” and the former Texas Attorney General John Cornyn’s Opinion gJC-0396'} which affirmed that anyone with such a set aside as the one received by Grievant David Schied was not even eligible for a governo_r’s full pardon “for lack of an object” to pardon; but in which Grievant Schied had received such a _E_\l_H w as “executive clemency” in 1983 (as inferred in the “expungement” document of “Exhlblt#17”) on top of the 1979 set aside as “judicial clemency,” J ust as importantly is the FACT that the State of Michigan judiciary, as well as the Michigan Attomey Gen`eral and various county prosecutors _. and the federal courts - have all disregarded the additional FACT that, not only did the Michigan 13 judiciary misinterpret Texas laws governing these varied forms of clemency, but also disregarded the Evidence that a school district employer (i.e., Sandra Harris of the Lineoln Consolidated School District)' had placed an erroneous N;ONPUBLiC 2003 FBi report into school district’s PUBLIC personnel file WITHOUT honoring Grievant’s right to “challenge and correet” M erroneous FBI report stemming from wrongful information being disseminating from the State of ~Te)ias’Denartment of P_ublic,"Safetv. Moreover, that Michigan judiciary and the Michigan Attorney General also intentionally ignored notices that so too had the second school district officials (i.e., David Bolitho, Leonard Rezmierski and Katy Doerr~Parker of the Northville bublic Scho_ols) placed a NONPUBLIC 2004 Texas judgment of “;igreed 0rder of Expunction” in to their P‘UBLIC personnel files. Most importantly, the Evidence shows that the Michigan judiciary and the v Michigan Attomey General were fully informed that BOTH school districts (Lincoln and Northville) disseminating those erroneous documents stemming from Texas, to other school district officials, were doing so in an overt political effort to assert the abuse their government power. Such Evidence pertains to a class action case that wasl going on in the Michigan Court of Appeals in 2003 when Grievant first arrived to Michigan with his family and was just beginning to be victimized by Michigan school district officials, Michigan BAR attorneys, Michigan circuit 14 court judges, Michigan county prosecutors in two counties, and the “assistants” to the Michigan Attomey General. That class action case involved other systemic abuses by the Michigan Department of Education “Supe`rintendent” Michael Flanagan, who was then accused of having constructed and disseminated to all school di_stricts, a master “list” of so-called “convicted schoolteachers""..,»..without first verifying the accuracy of the information on that list. (Bold emphasis) The Michigan Court of Appeals similarly dismissed that case (known as “Eric C. Frohriep and AAll Others Similarly Situa`ted v. Michael P. Flanagan` et a‘l”) in 2008 F corrag"_;tl}g - so to protect those of their peer group of other government official of the State, That ruling, along with the Michigan Court of Appeals’ “unpublished” ruling in Grievant’s case(s), which were never actually “litigated on the merits,"’ have resulted in the egregious and unlawful COERCION of public policy,-`and a continuation of that treason and domestic terrorism. Thus, there leaves the only conclusions the government of Michigan has ' been taken over by domestic terrorists who are committing treason. It appears to be the case here in Texas too` with the overwhelming Evidence collected by Grievant David Schied - as already in the lower and higher court records - that Loyd Wright and his cohort Stan Stanart as¢“clerk of the cour ” have committed serious FRAUD upon the public and upon this Court of Appe'als, 15 along with Texas State BAR attorneys, the App'el',le'es, Robin Apostolakis and 4 David Mu'nso`n-. ____.ARGUMENT As is clearly seen in Appellee Apostolakis’ “Motion to Dismiss,” she readily admits what Grievant has otherwise made well-known as the basis for this instant “appeal” to the Texas Court of Appeals: a) that the lower probate court “judge” Loyd Wright failed to honor-or even address the precept set by the above- referenced United States Supreme Court case of “Haines v. Kerner” case allowing ' “less stringent standards” for litigants without attorneys; and, 'b) that the Loyd Wright instead simply dismissed Grievant’s case summarily without providing constitutional due process and'Gri_evant’s constitutional right to a jury trial. Apostolakis cites TeX.R,Civ.P. 99, 103 and 106 in her ~“Motion_to Qis)nis_s” a_s reason for claiming that she was not properly served “citation,” which was caused by the dereliction of the Clerk of the Court Stan Stanart’s failure to provide the Court’s own citation upon receipt of Grievant’s documentation naming the co- Appellees. Such dereliction _' and the failure of either the judge or the clerk to notify pro se, sui juris and/or forma pauperis Grievant of possible deficiencies in his following ali court rules from out-of-state is insufficient justification for Apostolakis attempting to establish as a matter of fact th_at`these App'el_lees 16 Apostolakis and Smith were not fully aware of the proceedings against them, when that was clearly not the cas|e.l ~ What IS the case is serves that underlying basis for establishing the court rules in the first place - that the parties be fully informed of the claims against them and be provided a fair opportunity to respond - and this case is proven as a matter of FACT in the Exhibits referenced herein above. As shown by the “Memorandtirn ofLaw in Supnort....” presented in “E.rhiliii§ii.§z§ of this “ResQonse in Opnosition and Denial...” procedure does not trump substantive ri_gM. (Bold emphasis added) lt is also a well-established Fact that pro se Coleaints are to be held "‘to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers” |i_'~Iauines_,iz_.__y Kemer~ 404 U.s. 519 (1972)]. The simple FACT is that state of Texas BAR attorney Apostolakis - as well as her accompanying BAR member David Munson and the so-called “judge” Loyd Wright § has all along been using y color of law and procedure to criminally deprive Grievant - as well as attorney Apostolakis’ own client, Appellee Janette Smith - to the expedient resolve of these proceedings, and the entitlement of this blood brother and sister to their respective “day in court,” so that Grievant Schied can prove Apostolakis’ fraudulent written claim (“Exhlbit#Z”) that the __L__ast_Will and Testament of Michael Edward Schied is “invali'd” and “unenforceable.”_ 17 The Evidence in the Lower Court Record demonstrates that there i_s a Q¢attern and practice going on here in which “judge” Loyd Wright has chosen to “dismiss” Grievant’s original “Coleaint” while disregarding the proverbial “elepha`nt in the ro`om” of Grievant’s subsequent filing of “Counter-Complaint and/or Cross- Coleaint"’ ~ by which both sets of documents and supporting Exhib_its were clearly “served” upon the co-Appellees. ln the first “_ComQ,laint” the Appellees were listed first as Michael Merritt, Wynde Merritt and Janette Smith; however, after the 12/19/14 “emergency hearing” - as shown by the certified transcript of that hearing (“Exhlblt#7” attached herein) whereby Loyd Wright treated the “Coleaint” as a matter of record as a mere “objection” requiring Grievant to refile and re-serve the Appellees again as a Counter;Comnlaint,;and/or _Cross;ComI)laint” - Grievant clearly added AND SERVED Robin Apostolakis and David Munson along with the others (with “service of process” this second time through a disinterested and unrelated 3rd party) with a plethora of documents that would ensure that they all would become well-acquainted with the FACT that they M had been named as co-Defendants now “Appellees” in this instant case. _ For those like Appellee Apostolakis, and apparently her client and associate Appellee Janette Smith, who wish to claim that Grievant David Schied “is a prolificjiler and litigant” who “has been warned tlzat filing certain claims will 18 result in sanctions and he has chosen to ignore that warning,” Grievant has only to submit .F§EXHIBIT #16” AND “EXHIBIT#17” as Evidence that such "‘warnings” have come from domestic terrorists masquerading as state and federal judges that have NEVER “litigated” or otherwise addressed the contents and significance of these two exhibits. “Exhlblt#lo” is captioned the “Aftidavit ofEarl Hocauard,” a 5-page Affidavit followed by nine (9) certified documents of Evidence showing that as of 2009 - six years after terminating Grievant’s employment while denying him his . otherwise guaranteed right to challenge and correct an erroneous FBI report stemming from the derelictionof the Harris County 183rd District Court and the Texas Dept. of Public Safety - the business office administrators of the Lincoln Consolidated School District are responding to public FOIA requests by dissemination of the 2003 FBI report which wrongfully showed a status of “conv'iction” and disposition of “probation” a quarter-century after the 183rd District Court “judge” Joseph Guarino had issued to Grievant judicial clemency and misrepresented to Grievant that he then had a “clean slate” for the future. (Bold emphasis added) “Exhtblt#17” is also captioned the "‘Affidavit ofEarl Hocauard,” except it is a 5-page Affidavit followed by five (5) sets of certified documents showing that l as of 2009 '- five years after earning two honorable letters of recommendation from 19 supervisory school principals while employed as a substitute teacher at the Northville Public School District, the administrators of that school district were also responding to FOIA requests from the public by disseminating through the mail the NONPUBLIC Texas Court order, the “ greed Order of Exgunction” which on the face of page 2,- paragraph l clearly states, “-all release, dissemination or use of the records pertaining to such arrest and prosecution is PROHIBITED.” (Bold emphasis added) The Evidence is clear: for the past 13 years-, BOTH school districts in Michigan have been maintaining the erroneous FBI document and Texas "‘{_1g_reed _Ord_er:of§xpunction”' in their public personnel files, and disseminating them publicly under FOIA response while DEFRAUDING the courts in claim that they are justified in depriving Grievant of his rights to privacy under color 0[ law. These actions all constitute criminal misdemeanors as violations of both Texas and Michigan legislative statutes, as well as federal crimes. The cover-up of these »“predicate” crimes constitute FELONY RACKETEERING AND CORRUPTION. The continuance of this “M and gractice” by officers of the court, by judges, prosecutors, and the attorney generals, constitutes Treason and Domestic Terrorism. (Bold emphasis added) As Appellees’ “exhil)its A and B” demonstrate just two of the fraudulent rulings that fail to address the crimes presented on the merits of Earl Hocquard’s 20 two sworn and notarized Affidavits, Grievant has documented the underlying methodology of these crimes by the State BAR of Michigan attorneys, the regulatory agency of the Michigan Supreme Court’s “Judicial Tenure Commission” and the “Attorney Grievance Conzm_ission,” as well as state and United States judges altogether disregarding these FACTS and EVIDENCE. Importantly these actions to deprive Grievant of his rights, his career, his savings, his integrity, and the “clear slate” promised to him by former Harris County judge Joseph Guarino, reflect the TRUTH of a non-judicial environment in Michigan where a former Michigan Supreme Co.u_rt judge (Di_ane Hathaway) went to federal prison in 2012 while another (Eliz_abeth Weave_r) resigned and wrote the book, “Judicial Deceit." TVrannv and Unnecessary Secrecy at_the` Michigan SuQreme Court;” and in a county location where a fiscal “ tate of Emergency ”'ha`S been issued for the “Charter County of Wa'yne” where most of these crimes are occurring and from whence many of the most corrupt judges'of the state either are, or have been previously employed.; Thus, there leaves the onlvrco‘nclusion: the government of Michigan has been taken over by “domestic terrorists” Who are committing Treason; and it appears to be the case here in Texas too with the overwhelming Evidence collected by Grievant David Schied - as already in the lower and higher court records - that Loyd Wright and his cohort Stan Stanart as “cl'e_rk of the court” 21 - have committed serious FRAUD upon the public and upon this Court of Appeals, along with Tean State BAR attorneys, the Appellees, Robin Apostolakis and David Munson. CONCLUSION WHEREAS, the exhibits of Evidence cited above and included as attached references constitute overwhelming Evidence that Grievant has the right NOT to be dismissed again under color of law, lest`criminal allegations be levied against others who, like Loyd Wright, have disregarded and refused to “litigate the merits” of Grievant’s Statements in Affidavits supported by such Evidence. Moreover, the Evidence provided herein is sufficient to demonstrate to the judge(s) in review of this motion ‘»‘ltesgonse..,."’ and its accompanying "‘;ie_fi_n .S_'_uQ Qort of ResQonse...” that the Texas court’s “Earlv Termination Order Dismissing the Cau`s`e” of 1979 and subsequent “_Agreed Order of Ex'p'unction” a quarter-century later in 2004-, have been repeatedly, inte'ntionally, and criminally defied for over a decade'by certain domestic terrorists presenting themselves as treasonous Michigan government “actors” who have been tortuously turning a blind eye to the public dissemination of those Texas court orders. Underscoring the egregiousness of those crimes, being blatantly committed by numerous Michigan judges, is “EXHIBIT#IS” This exhibit consists of excerpted pages from a summary hearing on Grievant’s first circuit court case 22 against Northville Public School District, in which Grievant’s attorney had been merely requesting that the judge have'the school district administrators simply return and/or destroy_the Texas "A greed Order of Ex'punction” in accordance with the email Evidence showing that promise being made multiple times over- the course of the year that it took for the State of Texas to finally correct their records and for a new FBI report to be issued to properly reflect “no conviction” and a “clean slate” as had been promised a quarter-century earlier by Harris County District Court judge Joseph Guarino. The excerpted pages of *‘Exhtbit#lB” shows clearly the flagrant b contempt that the Michigan judge Cynthia Diane Stephe'ns had for the judiciary of the State of Texas when ruling that “ITexas] Erxp_ungem,e_ntsvare_a M’ and that, by her own interpretation of the -“intent” of the Michigan legislature, an “expunged [Texas/ conviction 3 is a lifetime offense [in 2 This statement itself is a misnomer given the FACT that both the Texas “_greed Order of Expunction” and the Texas laws supporting that court Order'both clearly state that what is being “expunge¢f’ is all remaining records related to the arrest and prosecution. This is because, as demonstrated by the two Texas Attorney General opinions referenced, as well as a plethora of state and federal case law, once receiving EITHE_R a “discretionary” type of set aside such as the one received by Grievant Schied in 1979 OR a governor’ s Full Pardon and Restoratlon of F ull Ci_vil Rights, there' 1s “no conviction”. Per the Opinion JC- 0396, a person receiving the former ls not even eligible for the latter ‘Ffor lack of an object” (to pardon). Grievant Schied got BOTH and both the executive and judicial branches of Michigan and the federal courts for the Eastern District of Michigans §Li on both the letter and the spirit of the 1974 jury recommendation and Judge Guarino’s 1979 “M '23 Michigan]” despite that a Texas jury of We,‘ T he People had otherwise decided - based upon hearing the FACTS firsthand - that Grievant should be issued a NON-FINAL DISPOSITION of “probation” and the chance to receive a “clean slate” by way of an “early termination” of that probation. Note that shortly after issuing that ruling, the Michigan Supreme Court promoted “ju_dge” Stephens to the Court of Appeals where she resides still today. (Bold emphasis added) lt is noted that the Evidence provided herein, along with the testimony presented in the Affidavits as explained further in this instant filing, altogether encumber the Texas Court of Appeals to report these interstate crimes to the proper federal authorities as Grievant Schied now is.doing with his submission of “EXHIBIT#19” as a formal CRIME REPORT to the Harris County Prosecutor. This crime report will be also provided to the Texas and Michigan offices-of the FBI and to the U.S. Marsl1alls in both states. As such, the judges in review of this information - if they fail to report these crimes to the proper authorities - become subject to federal criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. -§4 (“Misprision of Felony”) also losing their judicial immunity. Grievant David'Schied imp.lores those in operation of this instant Court of Appeals then to simply do the right thing to prevent further criminal victimization of Grievant, as required under the Texas Termination Order Dismissing the Cause,-” as well as on Grievant having lived an exemplary life for the next quartericentury in_h_o_nor_ cf those_decisions. 24 Constitution (Art. I,M §30) to take proper action to protect Grievant from the accused.

J: (inaudible) D: Ok, I can barely hear ya’. l’ve’ got my volume turned up as loud as l can here. Wait a second, 1101 There we go, let’s try that, J: Ok, and we are here on. . .to clarify some things and to uh. . .consider some ofthe pleadings about. . .regarding the Estate of Michael Edward Schied. D: Thank you very much. May l ask ah, um,. . .When you say “We are here,” l’d like to know Wh`o that is and maybe the name of the court reporter in case I need to order a transcript later. J: The Court Reporter is Don Pyla`nt; and uh, we’re here with Mr. Munson representing, l think, the proposed executor. D: Ok. And um, is Don_, uh...could you spell her last name? J: No, it’s D-o-n, Don. It’s a gentleman. Uh, sometimes he’s a gentleman. P-y-l-a-n-t. D: “E” as in Edward? J: No, uh. . .The last name Pylant, P-y-l-a-n-t D; Ok. J: “P” as in Paul. D.: Oh “P."’ Ok, thank you very much. l have a high frequency hearing loss and consonant sounds are sometimes a problem. Uh, thank you. Are any ofthe parties here at all? ls my sister represented or anything? J: I believe she may be in the. . .she is in the courtroom but she’s not at this point in time participating She’s sitting out in the gallery. D: Ok, thank you. J: Alone;.;;._,;.;.Th_is is the only hearing we have today. Page 1 § EXhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit D: Yes sir, thank you. J:\ And so, let me. . .let cut kinda’ short circuit some things. . .Uh, you’re pro se, or what we call pro se, and when you file something initially that challenges or contests or complains about someone Who may be. . .uh. . .appointed under a wi|l, the language doesn’t have to be precise. It creates what we call a “contest;"’ meaning . .you disagree that the person who is named in the will shouldn’t be appointed executor. And from there it becomes a lawsuit. . ._and it can only be resolved by settlement or a bench trial before me, or ajury trial. So when we get individuals who aren’t attorneys . .and. . .and, you spent a lot of time putting together things;;suh. . .but we have to accept that as. . .that this isn’tjust an uncontested appointment anymore, this is a contested matter that requires the rules of. . .uh. . .discovery, rules of evidence, and uh. . .becor'nes in fact sort of like a mini-lawsuit about who should Serve as executor. You’re not challenging the Will, it’s my understanding When you filed. . .and you may want to clarify th'is. . .but what you filed challenges who should serve as executor. D: Uh, that correct. . .uh. . .to the point that recently l had found that Texas has the...uh...l\/luniment ofTitle(?), and I`d like to find out how'. . .and I`uh, uh...under'stand from the Mu_ni'ment of Title that you don’t even have to have an executor. Uh, we don’t even have to have a full-blown. ...uh. . .administration of'this thing. A|l we do isjust, uh. . .uh. . .it’s kinda’ like what the u_h. . .;uh Uniform Probate Code says, which is that you call upon the Court... .uh. . .to handle a few uh. . .simple matters, and. . .and there is no complications with my brother’s case.-..-The're is no debt to my knowledge Uh, half of the Estate. . .uh. at least all money portion has been uh. . .uh. . .uh. . .except for a checking account has been disseminated Uh. . .l have no paperwork of anything That’s the only thing l’m. . .l’ve been askin’ for information, information, information, and nobody. . .everybody’sjust stonewalling me. And, and that’s the purpose of my uh.-. .motion for uh. . .uh. . .uh, Show Cause and for uh, uh. . getting uh. . .to compel documents And uh_. besides that, uh. . .it’s my understanding with Page 2 - Exhlbit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit this Muniment of Tit|e, uh. . .under Texas law, which is similar to...to the Uniform Code. . .uh...Probate Coide, which basically asks the Court tojust be involved on uh. . .the settlement certain simple issues, and that there. . .needs to be no executor, and that’s uh. . .that’s where l started. . .uh. . .but didn’t know the name of it under 'l`exas law until just recently when l filed this last motion...l found out it’s called Muniment ofTitle. J: Well there is that procedure here. . ..and it is in it’s primary. . .one primary uh...requirements are there are no debts for descendants of the estate and no need for administration Uh, but the w. .. but the option to. . .choose which way to probate this matter is typically the person named in the Will. And we have what are called “suspended administration" where...(inaudible talking with someone else. . .”he was, l’m sorry, he was. . .). . .We’re talking about. . .uh. . .(inaudible to a man). . .So you represent. .. D_: Uh, l’d like to...uh§ uh...qu_alify that, that the uh. . .Even though Mr. Merritt... J: Uh...let me tinish.... De Oh, yes sir, J: Hang on. . .l’m just talking to. . .(inaudible. . .to Jannette Smith?)...l_s this you’re. . .(inaudible). . .Ok, so you’rejust observing. . .(inaudible word). . .Ok.. . .Uh. . .(inaudible). . .(back to phone?) Uh. . .yes1.1We could do a Muniment of Title as an option, but the person named in the Will who is appointed by the person Who’s passed away as the executive .. uh, is typically it’s their option as to how to proceed upon the advice ofcounsel. Uh. . ..and I’ll let Mr. Munson proceed to uh. . .you know, the choice ofhow this is being probated. . .But. . .y. . .yes. . .you’re right. lt’s. . .lt’s typically there has to be a certain threshold of requirements to Muniment of Title. But it’s also not mandatory. lt can be uh. . .If the executor named in the Will_, who ultimately gets appointed, determines that they need certain things to happen in the Estate, and they need the authority that an executor would have, then it’s their choice to how to proceed in the probate. Uh. . .now we have a. .. independent Page 3 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit executor in Texas, is essentially someone who uh. . .serves after they’re appointed without court supervision, except they file an inventory. So it’s intended to be a very simple, nonacostly process._.,.;but if. . .t_hen that’s kinda’ where we are. . .uh. . .And I suppose there could be a discussion of options, but that’s really not my cal|. . .and.-. .the.,.-.the challenge for who is appointed. .. really creates what can be a fairly expensive process to. . ..not, you know. . .to get to the point where it’s determined that that person can serve or not serve. D: May l interrupt sir? J: Yes D: Alright, l. . .I have heard you a. . .few times here. . .uh, use the word “‘the” and "person_” ...singular. I don’t think you’ve. . .that that doesn’t indicate you have read the Will-. .The Will actually names a secondary individual to serve as executor if` the first person finds himse|f. . .or maybe somebody finds himself not suitable. . .uh, in one way or another. Per the Will, which l do not contest in any way whatsoever. . .l’m only asking for a reinforcement of it, which dle§ say that there needs to be some pape`rwork, some documentation I can’t remember the name. . .the. . .the word that was used in the Will, but there needs to be some accountability for uh. . .the uh, you know. . .what. . .what’s there. . .or what alia there. And so um. . .ah...There is a secondary person by the name of Clay Drummond, which was written. . .uh. . .very soon into my. . .my initial filing in objection to. . .uh. . .to Michael Merritt. 15 my whole first file to the Court explains why l. . .I disagree with Michael Merritt based onlhis past action already to find him unsuitable and that the next person in line. . .I would have no problem with. . .u_h,,.;doing all...having all the commands that you’re talking about, including making it a Muniment of Title and just stepping back- But. .. J: Weli. . .the problem. . .The problem with that is. . .because. . .just because you say it’s so doesn’t make it so. That’s why we have lawsuits; and that"s why it becomes a process where you have to present evidence why someone is unsuitable You can’tju_st state it in a pleading Uh. . ..lf Page 4 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit things worked out that way then. . .uh. . .the court system wou|djust fail altogether. There’s just no way to resolve things because one person’s pleadings are gonna’ conflict with another person’s pleadings, and there’s gotta" be a way to resolve it. . .which is through...a lawsuit. And so. yes, you have a secondary executor but the primary appointment has to be disqualified or lawfully found to be unsuitable . .or not able to serve . .before you go to that secondary choice D: May I interrupt again? J: lt is not a matter of you writing in a pleading that you don’t think somebody should serve That isjust not good enough. D: Well, if...ifyou don’t mind my. . .my interjecting again...l, l believe that what makes “good enough" is uh...is, is, due process; and uh._..-If something has been filed as l have filed it and something is not responded to within the uh. . .within the court rules period oftime, which I think is 21 days plus the Monday following a three day additional period of. . .you know, uh...something like that. . .uh, and um...And IF one was to consider the so-called ‘“answer” and “amended answer” oer. Munson,» uh. . .those, uh. . .uh which`were filed fully 30 days by electronic filing and AFTER l had noticed him on my default n...uh...uh, at the same time l was trying to c. . .convey something to Kimberly Hightower. . .that um. . .that l had filed a...because he had not responded and because uh...uh. . .J'ani Smith’s...uh. . .attorney did not respond to anything that l filed in my initial filing. . .there’s. . .I think that the due process says that. . .that l’m entitled to a defaultjudgment if l file for a motion for defaultjudgment. J: No, you’re wrong. 4 D: Ok. J:v Because...ac. . .actually When he filed his application to appoint his client, Mr. Munson. That is the initial pleading. You filed something that had challenged the appointment of who would serve as executor. That. . .that’s the lawsuit. Actually, Mr. Munson had n. . .never filed another thing, the lawsuit has been joined. . .and. . .un|ess you decide to nonsuit. . .or ya’|l settle it or it Page 5 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit goes to a bench trial an expensive jury trial...it can’t be resolved. It can be resolved by a motion for summary judgment down the road if you can prove . .uh. . .through documentary evidence . .that. . .as a matter oflaw someone shouldn’t be able to serve . .but otherwise, it’s the . .the. . .documents that have been filed only create a cause of action. They don’t resolve anything D: lunderstand. . .uh. . .l. . .l comprehend what you’re saying. l’m just taking a couple ofnotes here if you don’t mind. .. (pause). . .I would to just say that, um, I have been making every effort to do what you were talking about which is uh...to uh, find some means of uh, uh. . .getting uh. . .some kind of remedy besides making this a full-blown trial over the issue . .of one single issue and that is the suitability ofMichael Merritt. . .which, as you say, l need to prove uh. . .under uh. . .as a matter of law. 'J:' Well, no, you.,.-.-once y. . .a summaryjudgment would be a Way to prove something in the matter of law. if you get into a bench trial beforejust me or ajury trial, uh. . .with a six person jury or a twelve person jury, then you could prevai. ..prevail based on preponderance of the ev'idence-111which is slightly over fifty-percent So there are ways to. . .to, uh.'. .a summary judgment is a way that through documentary evidence - paper - you can prevail. . .but you have prevail there as a matter of law. You have to. . .um. . .show that the other side has really no case in. . .in it’s. . .can prevail over your case. I got it that. . .it’s sort ofa. . .layperson’s viewpoint of it, but.,.-. But you uh. . .if you go to a trial, it’s just like any other trial that you’ve probably heard about or. ._.or are familiar with. ln a civil matter. it’s. . .the test is a preponderance ofthe evidence So if ajury found someone to be unsuitable based upon a preponderance of the evidence . .uh. . .and was a 5-1 or l0-2 verdict uh. . .then you, then you would prevail. l mean if you’ve got a person, someone to agree, or me or thejury that a particular individual shouldn’t serve under the Estates Code. . .then you would prevail in that. l. . .I mean l wouldn’t. . .I know you have . .uh. . .reservations about who will serve l mean. .. the whole point is. . .is that you Page 6 '- Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit need to prove Why that person shouldn’t serve . .and they would then have the opportunity to defend themselves and offer contradictory evidence D: Yes sir, Well, and....and Judge Wright. ifum...I may...uh that uh...what you called an ans...l guess . .The initial action Was the application and...my. . .what l had filed as a Complaint and Objection and a Motion for...uh. . .Show Cause...uh...you...if, ifl got you right...you considered that something of an answer to the initial filing. But that included a motion. And. . .so far, you know, l’m not gettin’ service from the Court on the motion that l filed because it was a motion for Show Cause and to Compel Documents And so, do we need to go to a summary hearing and trial before motions are heard_. because l think that the..,the court rules said that motions get heard first. And that’s part of the. . scheduling conference, l guess. . .uh... .you know to set all that thing up months ahead of how We’re going through discovery and all that other kinda’ stuff. l. . .what l was sayin’ before was l’ve been tryin’ to. . .to circumvent all this myself byjust communicating with my sister_, but she’s not. . .She’s not talking to me one iota. And...and she hasn’t been, and all l’m askin’ for is documents. . .and...and J: That...that’s part of the discovery process l mean you can uh...file a request uh...to answer interrogatories or request for production Uh...There are all sorts of discovery documents that you can file to try to obtain documents...uh...that are relevant to what you...uh...what you file A Show Cause has to be...uh...ifthere’s an Order of Show Cause issued, which l don’t believe there has been, that order is then served with the Motion for the pleading on the individuals who has to be produced to show-cause, and then they appear based on that Show Cause. So really you haven’t...uh...The Show Cause hasn’t been done in the proper manner. D: Well uh... J: You have to understand you’re talking to people who have uh...my staff has served under three different probate judges l’m just a layman...and...l was a probate attorney for 27 years S'o Page 7 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit your...your putting a lot ofeffort into this...and your gonna’ get heard...and the issue you seem to be concerned about isjoined. So uh...but that’s where we are right now. All you’ve created is a lawsuit. And...uh...you can do certain things You can have a hearing on certain days Uh...For instance if you file a request for production or interrogatories and they’re not responded to in a timely fashion. You can do a motion to compel. And there are all sorts of things you can do. But even as a pro se person...uh...representing themselves But..,.but we’re just in the initial stages of a lawsuit. l mean that really where we are Then you get a docket control order'which sets out a bunch of deadlines for things to occur to completing discovery. So that’s really where we are today. There’s,...othe'r` than me confirming with you and you uh,..don’t want the first person named in the Will to serve, which then creates the lawsuit that l’ve been referencing. l mean that’s about all we can do. If...lfyou hadn’t filed what you filed...and l’m not saying that’s right or Wrong..~.what would have happened is this would have been put on a non...uh...contested uncontested Will docket. The Will would have been admitted to probate This person would have been then appointed, and then they would have 90 days to file an inventory of assets and they would proceed with administering the Estate under the Will..-.and doing what the Will told them to do. Uh...but we have...uh...contests all the time to individuals serving...Uh, but that all we ar...but that where we are right now;. Uh, there’s nothing summarily today that can be done There’s no default. There’s no uh...There’s nothing l can say definitely as to whether this person should serve or not as we sit here today. D: That uh...l comprehend what you are saying sir. Um...l did wanna’ uh...clarify something that l also heard you say, because l am listening to what you’re saying. Ah, you said that the...the person uh...for the Show Cause would have to be served. Well I did serve my sister, and l served...the’|l...there are only two that are involved and l served them both.'.. J: Well D: ...with the Show Cause motion. Page 8 '- Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit J: The service is...Your...your concept of service is different from what’s required. Service on a Show Cause requires a constable...you know, an officer of the Court...uh...Harris County constable usually...or someone else substituting for that constable to take documents and go to the individual who you want served, and to personally serve it on them. You’ve served documents under uh...missing terms of getting it to the attorney and even the individuals But a show cause requires somethin’ persona|...lt’sjust like a lawsuit. lt requires it to be handed to that person...uh...personally. D: Alright, l’m comprehending what you’re saying there and...and... J: Let me_..let me clarify, what starts a probate matter’s a little different...andjust under the statutes...When you file an application to probate a Will there is issued a...a citation, which you may have seen a copy of, that requires you to respond within a certain period of time through the probate if you have al..a challenge or a contest. That kinda’ notice is posted at the...at the courthouse lt’s uh...And so it’s a notice to the general public. lt’s not like a constable handing you a copy of a lawsuit. So that’s..'.and that’s proper. l mean that’s the way service is done in these Will matters And so now you...you’ve had notice that that’s occurred. You filed your pleading which is getting the most important part that you don’t want that person to serve And so we have two allegations We have...well we have an allegation that the Will should be probated; and then we have an allegation for a.'..a...uh...an attempt to appoint someone under the Will to serve as executor and you`ve challenged through your uh...pleadings...that that person should serve So that...that’s the challenge And each side now has the opportunity to prove their things You can prove that uh...with evidence you can prove, you know, using the statutes and the laws of the State of Texas, you can prove - if you can - that that person shouldn’t serve, and that Munson would say, or would challenge that and say “no, he should serve"’ and here’s why. And you bring forward your evidence He brings forward his evidence, and there’s a decision by ajudge or ajury... lPage 9 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit D: l see. Um, and uh...As an alternative to all ofthat...uh...the...the applicant Michael Merritt, if he wanted to, could step back and withdraw his application as well. I would imagine J: He...he could. l mean the individuals can take...uh...whatever actions they...they want to. l mean you....you...there can be a settlement in some fashion. l don’t know what becomes to that would be, and l don’t know if...you know each side...all parties have to agree to the settlement D: l totally agree a...a... J: And that’s something that can happen. l’m just trying to tell you that...that if...it...it will be probably uh...I would say it’d be a half-day trial...to a day...and...and there would be discovery. Uh, whatever allegations you think you can prove...and Mr. Munson would...you know, do his due diligence on behalf of his client. And so, he’s not...it’s...it’s gonna’...lt would be a fairly expensive process for a small estate Uh...but for what l’m gathering..,it’s essentially in the grand scheme of things a fairly small estate lt doesn’t mean its small in meaning Ijust means in terms of cash value, it’s not...it’s not a large estate It’s a...So, so that’s where you are I mean l would suggest that...that you try to.;.~.you know I know there’s a lot of personal history in this There always is in a family and...and...who should serve and...l would just suggest you try to uh...You know you also should try to approach this as a practical matter which it sounds like you have in a...in a way when you suggest Muniment ofTitle. l don’t...l don’t know ifthat would a-...an option.»..uh...But...but it just gets expensive and...it...The primary basis for you to challenge somebody serving is if you don’t think they will do what the Will says And...it is in layman’s terms...and if you...That’s where we are Beca`use you just basically want to make sure that...whatever you’re awarded or uh...divised and bequeathed under the Will comes to you;, And that’s the bottom line..That’s what made in thejudgment...and...you Want to try to minimize debt and expenses and maximize what comes to the beneficiaries So._..I’m not trying to tell you what to do...but...but what you’ve done is essentially created something that precedes event of significance Page 10 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit D: Well, and that’s based on...as you caught it...the uh...the premise that...that I disagree with uh..,.and based on all the evidence that nobody’s heard and nobody’s looking at, and l have to go through a whole lengthy process to...to prove...Ah...because I’ll only be submitting the same things that l...l’ve submitted before, and any discovery done on me is already in the file Ah...so...l’ve mean l’ve been merry-..;.been very meticulous to making sure that everything that’s been associated with this case is already in the Court file. lt’s,just making sure that the Court actually gets it filed once l send it to ‘em that’s what uh...seemed to be the problem. J: Well we...we’ve gotten...We..We don’t. Here’s the way it goes now especially and the rules are more difficult actually for the pro se pleading or can be because we have shifted to E-filing which is electronic filing...mean`ing we can accept paper....in certain circumstances we can accept paper and basically try to help out pro se to advance their point of view. But specifically now we’re in an electronic filing system where things, you know, file digitally and electronically; and uh_...So that’s...That’s where...That’s been a little bit ofa problem. We’ve got, to my knowledge what you’ve filed. So Mr. Munson has the allegations...uh...and ya’ll just...and we’ll just let him...uh...you know, absorb those allegations and see what he thinks and what his client thinks; and then ya’|l ‘ll talk about how you want to uh...to handle this...to...to see if it can be resolved in some fashion. D: Uh...l’m just saying there Um...Uh, l appreciate your giving me this time also. Ah, that the a... uh...one ofthe two things is that um...uh...and...and l’d like to address ‘em both before uh;..;letting any one ofthem be a counter....in any wayt..Uh, one ofthem isn that uh...uh...you want Mr. Munson to think about the uh...this filing stuff and...and reflect on this uh._..the E- fil_ings...but I think that should be thought about for both of us because while l’ve been reading the Court rule, and l placed it in my mostrecent motion today, and that is that Mr..._l\/lr. Munson, despite the E-filing rule that says l have to be signing something in writing in order to accept service by e=mail-, uh..l\/lr. Munson seems to take it upon himself to serve me any way Page 11 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit he wants to, in email and otherwise....and l disagree with that because l made myself clear and l put that evidence in the record as well that uh...that l do not wish to be served uh...by e- mai|...that uh... l don’t want to take the chance of my private e-mail being spammed. l"ve got a lot of stuff in here and reason why l don’t want to be served by email. And uh...l...l’ve been trying to be c...compliant with the service of everything by uh...by mail myself...and uh...and according to the Court rules l’d just like to make sure that everybody’s just playing ny the rules instead ofjust doing whatever they feel like doin’. That’s number one The second thing is that uh, uh...uh...l\/lr. Munson does not represent my sister. And uh...l have been making every effort that l can to contact my sister, to...to leave uh, text messages uh...to uh...to work...try to get my mom...to uh to you know, to have my sister, you know, my sister is telling my mom s_he"s gonna’ be sending pictures of what she took out of the house and...and took out of state, and see...but she seems to be having this social life thatjust...and her busy-ness of her daily busy-ness isjust....she’.s too busy to take care of any of this stuff. And so _l can understand how all ofthat...You know it’s not just my filing here sir that is costing this Estate l think that everybody, all these parties named...You know Mr...l\/lr. Merritt could step back. He could uh, he could say, you know if he did step back, l do have th...the follow-up question of if he did step back can this still go to Muniment of Title um, uh...you know w....without him accepting the...thejob of executor. Um...and uh...so there’s..There’s multiple parties here that l think all have responsibility to this estate of my brother’s. l’m just simply sayin’ based on the f...based on the evidence that...that we may have to go through a long lengthy process of discovery for me to be able to make part of the record AGAIN, and to formally serve it according to all the court rules of discovery and evidence and all the other kind of stuff...and then to present it ag...at trial...that uh...we can do that. That’s my part. That"s my responsibility But let’s take a look, you know, l’m hoping that Mr. Munson Will ask his client to take a look at what...What his responsibility is to this estate, and if me as a beneficiary does not want him - based on our Page 12 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit past interactions - which w...was basically...lt’s all in the file..uh...and my sister doesn’t want to take a step back and...andjust provide me with documentation that l’ve been asking for for a long time and just be straightforward ab...about what she"s taken out of the house and everything then...Yeah, l guess we all need to...to follow due process and we’ll move this thing forward r... regardless of how much is left in the Estate_. You know l...;l"m following through with mine...l’m just asking for everybody to just stop what they’re doing and just be...put it all on the table And if l have to go through the whole lengthy due process to do it, l guess that’s what l have to do, sir. .l: Well...l...l wasn’t going to criticize you for what you did uh...in terms ofthe contest. That happens all the time so...l’m just trying to make you understand...or help you understand that...everything that happens in a litigated matter uh...can be a cost to the Estate, which diminishes the Estate So l’m just...That’s my...lt’sjust a caveat that everybody to think it through in_these..in these battles and fights...to think through the ultimate goal, which is to maximize what you get out of the Estate And that’s really uh...an admonishment to everybody. So uh... D: Thank you. J: Mr. Munson uh...is here uh...and l mean he’s heard you uh...l...He knows that l always tell individuals that there ought to be full disclosure Um...and, and...that everything should be laid on the table just to see where everybody stands...um...to...to..tto have everybody have the feeling that they have full knowledge of what’s going on. So uh...I...l understand that you are now, after this hearing you are going to have a hearing to set up what we call a Docket Control Order. Uh...There’s two ways to go and frankly, after you do the docket control order...at any point in tijme, with the cooperation of all the parties, you all can reach a settlement This order, the docket control order, just gets it on a track for trial; and, it doesn’t mean all the things that are said in that docket control order has to happen or uh...That all that uh...effort and expense Page 13 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn andy Notarized Affidavit has to occur. ltjust says, “Here’s your time frame. Here is your uh... calendar of events; and everybody’s gonna’ operate under that time frame, that calendar.” And then uh...in the meantime, again the matter can be resolved at any point in time and uh...the uh...whatever the settlement is and the parties will abide by the settlement, and everybody will move on. D: l comprehend that. J: Ok. So...l mean we’re at the early stages is what l’m trying to say ofuh...ofthis matter. And so it can be resolved at any point in time after this date. D: l.,..l...l un...see that aa...we"ve already been going three months now so...you know it’s uh...could be a long ride or a short one, depending on uh...all parties, l guess. J: Right. Right, well that’s (chuckle) that’s the way l...and many times the parties uh...spend about a month fighting over things...and they end up with an agreement that they could have made at the inception. And that’s just the way, you know, that when these things become litigated and there’s uh...big family issues involved and.,.persona,lities involved,- that’sjust the way things go. So my...my goal is to always tell families....lt"s hard...to try to think in terms of the economics of it. And...and just get it done and move on because...and l’ve said this of life in general...Nothing is going to fix what’s gone on between families for decades. And to...to waste time and effort and to make it...may take a large part of your life...uh...for anybody...l...my uh...my admonition is to resolve it and move on and be reasonable and,.,and try to uh...flgure out a...way to come to a meeting of the minds. D: Well, and l think that’s what my brother had in mind by selecting a second person in mind for executor and uh...So...l’m with ya’. J: When somebody does a Will, and and...l mean, they’re the decedent and, they’re the person who uh...took the time to think though their Will. And when they name somebody, it’s a...again, these contests happen all the time but it’s a...pretty sacred appointment, l mean it’s...unless that person is really found to be unsuitable...that was what the decedent wanted and Page 14 - Exhibit #4 to Swor`n a_nd Notarized _Affid_avit that’s what we first hope to honor. And that can change based on evidence but,...but that.-..The fact that they named a secondary person doesn’t...doesn’t necessarily mean that...it doesn’t impact the first appointment which is the...is the primary appointment..-.that’S the first person the decedent thought about when they did their Will. D: And sir, l...l might add my own caveat to that...l...l..,l totally agree with everything you’ve been saying and l...again l want to tell you how much l appreciate your...l’m grateful to the amount oftime you’re taking explaining all ofthis when you...you’re not a legal advisor here in this situation. Um...that uh...uh...l have um...l had the same feeling about that for the first month after my brother’s death, but...in spite ofthat month...lt’s all in writing and it’s all of my fir...my very first filing as the basis for me not wanting Michael Merritt i_n there and uh...lt’s...it’s...it’s straightforward; and so it’s...it"s...l made evidence out of it. l c...l’ll resubmit it again. lt’s my reason. lt’s...lt’s...Othe`r than that, l totally agree. lt-.._.it,..'.l was willing t_o accept that. .l: Here’s what you have to do though too, just...and l know you know this but...with along with your allegations on one day, the trial day uh...or...then- everybody shows up and they have their witnesses and their documents, and they admit their evidence and their testimony and then somebody else...some third-party ofjudge or jury decides the outcome. And that’s why the pleadings. And there is certain...when l mention summaryjudgment...there are certain types of pleading where you don’t have to go to ajury or ajudge and a trial, that you can present enough evidence uh...where you win in a se...as a matter of law. That’s not...it’s fairly rare that that happens. But otherwise, from that day the trial is set uh...you present all your evidence and then uh...you’re get decided up. And that’s how it’s...that’s how it’s resolved by a trial. Uh, in the meantime you and l\/lr. Munson, and l believe your sister has an attomey, can all...l mean there should be a way to communicate and discuss how to go with the matter of resolve. D: l woulda’ thought. 1 Page 15 - Exhibit #4 to Sworn and Notarized Affidavit J: Well, let’s not. Mr. Munson’s here... and l uh.'.. Again he’s heard everything l’ve said, uh so uh...Like l guess what it...Let it percolate. Ya’ll ‘ll get your docket control order; and then, ya’|l can continue to try to figure out Ways to resolve it with the bottom line being.'.. that as cost effectively as possible each beneficiary gets what they’re entitled to. l mean that’s really, in simplest terms, that’s what we’re trying to do...what...what the probate process is trying to do. So..».everyone keep that in mind and we’ll...we’ll just keep...keep going until ya’ll settle or try it. And l don’t mind giving it an early trial date because l don’tthinkthei , /. gonna:; serveislt’s gonna’ cost the Estate money, but it’s not a complicated process. Either the person is suitable or their unsuitable. Ah...You know, either there’s valid reason they shouldn’t serve or there (sic) not. And so that’s...that’s what we’re trying to resolve. D: Well it would seem to me that uh...uh...that ifl gave u.h...them enough time to do their own discovery and ali th'is, that uh...it...it...it’d b.oii down to me just asking them trth@ui fl\xhdf motion for s’ij'r'nmary"p:riq _ the tile then ah?»;:»you kn uf know uh...conside,rifn§;th'e a\m<>unt; f“titm.e§ thati»`yo_u_§§v§:already' spenruhin,youknow wh eth”er§?you’ re : going to d`e:""r,i"y`;my "uli_“'.:,',.;iny;n`ioti`on today for.l)j¢tiatétoty Rulmg theryoure going,dh§:.l'_§:;=.it.;.;,Il’,;v"¢lalrea,d§?h“ééfd“you say / .`».!.i"t sound§§'jttji§t`ji¢§like your gonhajjldeny/default‘j’u'cigm¢rit`§iahd ,uh.'..i"m`:ju’§t §§ t gorin §Yvi?)ril tts.s`i Wh€r .0 B_ox1378 - :'Novl Michigan 48376 4_ :__248-347 168_4_ 4 ' .j -; Exh.i;-b-i;t ,#3: E 'PR¢BATE vouRT No 11 ; ':OF HARRIS coUNTY, TEXAS rn the Estate of~l Mr¢hae_l,Edward Schwd Deceased David Schied, ;_ '.`.::"»:'- ' "::` " lnterested Party Plazmij'/ 4 v ' 4 '_ ' Prlnclpal Co-Hecr l i_fvs." n in ‘ :M'i_chael Merritt (named executor”) and Wynde Merritt (“co-executor” by Janette Rejnee_ Smith ' 1 ; 4_ 4 _ 1 _ __ ;. l proxy) _ Robrn_Apostolalus . l" ' -' .

Nv-‘ 6. A few weeks later, m response to my FOIA request, Assistant Supermtendent of Adminisnative Services for the Northville Public Schools sent beck a package addressed to me at my home containing the employment records of Michigan schoolteacher David Schied. a) l have attached a copy of the outer envelope sent via U.

There was a two~page cover letter sent in acoompaniment of the one-quarter inch 4(1/4”) chick package of employment documents regarding David Schied (E_x_'_l_n'bit §_)' a) 'Ihe letter was written by DAVID C.

(§xhib'it §) t n a) The court Order, time-starnped“ZGO¢t Sept.Z?’~’ was an S~page document referencing the “cxpunction.” of'c'riminal `history'. ` b) l noted that “l__tel_n_#_l of this court Order specifically states, . .all release dissemination _or" use .ofr"e.cords pertaining to such arrests and prosecution is PROHLBITED’.. c) l timber noted that ‘Itiem #7” of the document additionally held that Mr l l. I have shared the contents of this package with Mr David Schied as his dependent child is my counseling clicrrt; and l am aware that he has named various administrators of the Northville Public Schools as having acted maliciously m the past to obstruct him from employment as s schoolteacher. l am also aware of the negative impact that such action has had upon his ability to support is dependent wife and child, and m impeding his ability to provide for the ongoing costs of the counseling services that this family needs in the aftermath of earlier offenses by the Northville Public Schools’ administration 12 1 am aware that the Northville Public Schools has been engaged in previous civil litigation in which Evidence-has shown that the adiniiii'strators~of this school district are well aware that Mr Schied’s criminal history in Texas_'wa'_s SET ASIDE in 1979, was PARDONED in 1983, and with the remaining arrest record 'EXPUNGED in 2004. 13. By reference to the very State and Federal statutes provided to me by Northville Public Schools’ assistant superintendent David C Bolitho, Ihav.e come to believe that, by my receipt of these documents through the U S Pos_tal Service, I have been inadvertently involved as a witness to a CRIME against Mr David Schied as perpetrated by David Bolitho. 14 I believe that Mr. Schied ma therefore be a crime victim as based u on the a) b) c) Under MCL §15. 243§'1'1 ofMiehigan’ s Freedom of Ig¢ormalio'n Act t(_A_ct 442 of 19_7§), a public body such as a SCHOOL DISTRICT may exempt from disclosure any “(a) information of a personal nature if public disclosure of the information would constitute a clearly unwarranted z'n_~va_sion of on individual ’s privacy ”; and ".(b) 1nvestigatng records compiled for law eojbrce-ment ,‘purp'oses.. insofar-...._.as disclosure as a public record would-..
